The Patient (2022)

A therapist held captive by a serial killer has to make conversation serve a purpose it was never meant to carry: survival under immediate coercion. The Patient makes a question's timing and an answer's interpretation intensely consequential. Choose it for a short, very dark psychological thriller driven by two people talking across a profound power imbalance. The threat of violence is real within the story, so its therapeutic setting does not imply reassuring viewing.
